210 diff help!!

[losichris]

ok, im on borderline to throwing the car through the window!!
ive followed peoples advice on diff building with the thrust the correct way, and the clip the flat side to the screw etc.
and it still isnt happening....
im out of ideas, and getting very frustrated!!

What's happening exactly?

[gainsy]

Whats happening to it? does the clip keep coming out?
The flat bit should be away from the screw, so when you put it in the rounded side will go in first

[losichris]

the clip is in, locked into the outdrive.
the diff works, but its very tight. not only that but its slipping.
and i cant tighten all the way without it stripping

[gainsy]

How about the nut retainer, is it fully into the outdrive? mine didn't go straight in but with a gentle tap it soon slid straight in, also are you using kit balls or ceramic?

[losichris]

when the diff is tight, seems to be all the way in.
using kit balls
think its something on the thrust side

[gainsy]

Hmmm that's a puzzler
Stupid question as you probably have but have you put the shim in betwen the bearings?

Flat side of the circlip should be away from the thrust race, not close to it.
